(whom the Lord helps) a common name in Hebrew, and especially in the families of the priests of the line of Eleazar, whose name has precisely the same meaning as Azariah. It is nearly identical, and is often confounded, with
Ezra as well as with Zerahiah and Seraiah. The principal persons who bore this name were:

Son of Ahimaaz. (1 Chronicles 6:9) He appears from (1 Kings 4:2) to have succeeded Zadok, his grandfather, in the high priesthood, in the reign of
Solomon, Ahimaaz having died before Zadok. (B.C. About 1000.)
